Welcome to another Daily Rind Newsletter, full of great new music from some of our favorite artists. Our Featured section boasts two stalwarts of their respective genres - ISIS, gods of the prog-epic-metal genre, and Company Flow, who are arguably the originators of indie underground hip-hop. We're offering some coveted free tracks this week, with cuts from two of the most anticipated albums of the spring, Passion Pit's Manners and Au Revoir Simone's Still Night, Still Light. Not to mention some digital debuts of oldies but goodies, like the Roger Daltry-fronted LSO performance of "I'm Free" from the 1972 rock opera Tommy, a remix of one of the most popular songs of the nineties, Us3's "Cantaloop" and a new one from Factory Records' faves The Durutti Column. Check out videos from wildman King Khan and his Shrines and a behind the scenes look at DJ Green Lantern doing his thing. Speaking of Green, his protégé Johnny Polygon is Bubbling Up this week, along with some young bands on cred-worthy indie labels Paper Bag, Barsuk and Gigantic. And as always, there's lots more In Stores Now and Coming Soon!
